Final Fantasy Remix: Part Two
Vincent fell back onto the ground and Cloud watched him shake his head, he looked like he was okay, but Cloud wasn't sure. Vincent raised his eyes, carefully studying him with crimson red eyes. Cloud felt his soul being torn from him, those eyes, stained with blood, burning for. something. Cloud couldn't breathe, he felt his joints lock up and his muscles tighten, they all awaited death by this demon that appeared before them. "Who are you? Why did you reawaken me?" Vincent lifted himself from the floor but maintained his ghastly stare, "Who sent you? Was it Sephiroth? Was it Hojo? Or maybe ShinRa."
Cloud couldn't speak, he knew that if he didn't he might die, but, even then, he couldn't force himself to say a single word.
"Well?" Vincent said, obviously getting impatient.
Cloud finally found the reserves deep within himself to sputter two words, "No one."
"What do you mean no one?" Vincent seemed confused by Cloud's words.
Cloud finally calmed down enough to continue, "I just came here to find out what had happened to the fifth man."
"Fifth man?"
"You! Hojo said."
To Cloud's horror Vincent's eyes narrowed and he started to reach for the gun at his side, "So, you do work for Hojo."
"No!" Cloud screamed, desperate to defend himself before Vincent shot him, "He said in his letter upstairs in the safe, he said was sorry for what happened. He wanted me to tell you that."
"I see." Vincent finally lowered his gaze and dropped his hand at his waist.
Cloud sighed heavily and dropped to the floor exhausted, "I'm glad you believe me."
Vincent's eyes grew cold and distant, "If you had been sent by anyone, you would have tried killed me all ready." Vincent took in a deep breath and let in out slowly lifting his head "Hojo. was a good friend of mine. I thought he betrayed me." Vincent looked down at the floor, "He never says he's sorry unless he didn't want to do it in the first place," his lips curved upward into a smile, "It's his honor, you see, he'd rather die than lie, something about the disruption of knowledge. I just thought he was crazy."
"But still!" Cloud yelled vehemently. "He locked you in here like you were some animal!"
Vincent's reply was as cold as ice, "That's irrelevant. He probably did it to save his own skin."
"But, isn't that betrayal?"
"No," Vincent said flatly, "he saved my life too."
"Save your life? From what?"
Vincent's eyes hardened, "Sephiroth."
Cloud's eyes widened in surprise, "Sephiroth? The great general, Sephiroth, vanquisher of the Wutai army! Why would he want to kill you?"
"Wutai army?" Vincent looked up, he appeared puzzled, "How long was I in that chamber?"
Cloud looked down at the floor, "Umm. twenty years, I think."
"Twenty years huh?" Vincent was smiling, "Good."
"Why good? Doesn't that mean most of your friends and family died?"
Vincent chuckled, "Hojo and Zack were my only friends, and I doubt they'd be dead yet, and as for family. I don't have any."
".Oh, but still why are you suddenly so happy?"
"Now I can kill Sephiroth because he's weakened now. It's been twenty years, that kind of time catches up with someone."
"I'm not so sure you can do that, the Wutai army was defeated by him just five years ago," Cloud threw a rock at the machine just behind Vincent, it skipped once on the ground and then clinked against the metal pipe at the base.
Vincent grinned assuredly, "The soldiers did most of the work, I doubt he did any actual fighting."
Cloud shrugged, "But it's been twenty years, can't people reform in that time?"
Vincent turned and stared at the chamber so hard Cloud thought that it would burst into flame, "People, like Sephiroth, don't change their ways." Vincent shook his head as if trying to throw out a bad thought then smiled, "Hey, you haven't even told me your name."
Cloud looked "Oh. It's Cloud, Cloud Strife."
Vincent stretched and gave a loud yawn before replying, "Well, Cloud, for bringing me out of my sleep you owe me a meal."
"Huh? But." Cloud shook his head, it was better not to argue with this man. "Okay." Cloud looked up, Vincent was all ready leaving the room humming some old tune.
Vincent smiling faded into a scowl as he reached the door of the mansion, "Do you hear that?"
Cloud leaned his ear against the door to listen, "Hear what?"
Cloud watched as Vincent drew his gun, cocked and loaded it, he looked to be ready for anything on the other side of the door, "It sounds like an bond fire but much bigger."
Cloud tried to dissuade him from charging out the door guns blazing, "It's probably just a party."
Vincent looked at him with that same piercing look he gave the chamber, "That you didn't know about?" That being said Vincent turned the knob, opened the door and walked out.
Author's Notes: Oh jeez, that was slow going! I thought I'd never get it done! Probably, because I was reading too many fanfics before even thinking of starting this chapter. oh well, ^_^V. Well anyway, this is Cruel_Shadow signing out. Oh right, please review, it's obviously too late for me to tell you to read it! But anyway, I would like input on what you liked, what you didn't like, what you think I should change, and stuff like that. Well thank you for reading my fan-fiction! I'm deeply honored that you would take the time to read it. Ja ne!
